U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is assuring Muslims of her support, threatening action against any "anti-Muslim rhetoric" that "edges toward violence."
Lynch, speaking at a dinner held by the Muslim Advocates, a national legal advocacy group, announced Thursday night the Justice Department will investigate the police department in Texas that arrested a 14-year-old Muslim boy who brought a device that looked like a bomb to school. Ahmed "Clock Boy" Mohamed was never charged, but several congressmen asked Lynch for the civil-rights investigation she promised Thursday.

"When we are ruled by fear, we are not making ourselves safe," Lynch said.
She specifically criticized proposals in Congress to block Syrian refugees from the U.S.
"This is not the way," she said, and people were "simply rushing to judgment."
Assuring the pro-Muslim group that "we stand with you," Lynch said she would use her Justice Department to protect Muslims from "violence" and discrimination and vowed to prosecute anyone guilty of what she described as violence-inspiring speech.
"The fear that you have just mentioned is in fact my greatest fear as a prosecutor, as someone who is sworn to the protection of all of the American people, which is that the rhetoric will be accompanied by acts of violence," she said. "My message to not just the Muslim community but to the entire American community is: we cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on."

Is she Muslim?
But they won’t do the same for anti-Christian rhetoric. Another CW may be necessary at this point.
So, if you’re ‘suspected’ of uttering offensive comments about moose-limbs, can you be upgraded to the ‘suspected’ terrorist list?
“”When we are ruled by fear, we are not making ourselves safe,” Lynch said”
EXACTLY! That’s why the San Bernardino massacre happened...because the neighbors were afraid to call the police for FEAR of being accused of profiling
Hey Lynchmob, ever heard of the First Amendment?
Islamaphobia???
It is not irrational to fear evil.
Is this person a lawyer at all?
We still have free speech and,unless we are inciting someone to violence, I believe we can talk about Muslims and their crappy religion and say we do not want unvetted, inbred Syrian Muslims to come and possibly murder us.
Did I mention their religion is crappy and their alleged prophet was a pedophile, murdering scumbag.
There. I feel better.
I must have missed the part where she repealed the First Amendment. Eff her and this entire anti-American administration.
I mean, jeez. What could their be to criticize about Muslims?
Great timing.
We are betrayed.
I feel a Pamela Gellar/Michele Malkin sponsored Insult Muslims Day is on the horizon.
Take a look in the mirror, sweetie.
Ali got run over by a bacon truck
going home from our house on ramadan
you may say there’s no such thing as Eckrich
but as for me and Ali we believe.
A representative for CAIR said we got what we deserve for meddling in the middle east.
Is that not inciting more violence?
And if you are an NRA member too, that is a double whammy. Damn bitter clingers.
I think turn around is fair, I’m calling on Muslims in America to convert, or be watched and taxed as non christians and thus not fully american.
This type of thinking is what prevented the neighbors in Redlands from notifying authorities.
